Skylar turned to look at Coralie. The light in the room was very dim.
Coralie was standing against the dim light, with her long hair hanging down on her shoulders, and there was a trace of doubt on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Today, I met Josephine. She returned the money to me. Andrew hit her again." Coralie walked into the study, sat on the chair in front of Skylar's desk, and held her chin. "She was very beautiful and confident when she was in college. Many people chased after her, but now she is being mistreated by Andrew. She can only swallow her anger and do nothing."
"Everyone is making choices constantly. Since they have made their choice, they have to bear the consequences."
Coralie was also the same back then.
When she chose to leave Skylar and marry Howard, she wasted her youth.
"I think I will be lonely all my life. I've been so lonely all my life..."
Coralie was looking at Skylar and thinking about Josephine when her phone rang.
When she picked up the phone, Andrew's furious voice could be heard from the other end. "Coralie, you got a divorce and found a good husband for yourself. You just incited Josephine to get a divorce, didn't you?"
"Andrew?"
Coralie didn't know what was going on.
"Coralie, how dare you ask Josephine to get a divorce? I'm poor now and you all look down on me. Let me tell you, if I become a famous streamer in the future, I'll earn 10,000 dollars a month. I won't even be interested in her!"
Andrew cursed over the phone.
Soon, the phone was grabbed by Josephine, and she sounded like she was crying. "I'm sorry, Coralie, I'm sorry."
After that, she hung up.
Coralie looked at the black screen on her cell phone and felt a sense of regret. "If I had not been a housewife for three years, I would have used that time to work. Maybe, I can force Josephine to get a divorce now, but I am still new to all of this, and I can't help her at all."
For the first time, Coralie felt that she would definitely persuade Josephine to get a divorce and help her if she was strong enough.
"It's her choice. It's useless for you to persuade her. If she had decided not to get a divorce and give Andrew a chance, it will be pointless for you to persuade her otherwise,"
Skylar explained.
"That's right. She doesn't want to get a divorce. I can feel it. The suggestion she wants to hear is how they can continue their life."
Coralie laid on the table, feeling helpless.
"By the way, in regards to Howard. He will probably be locked away for some time, for trespassing and attempted r*pe."
"Ah... Okay..."
Speaking of Howard, Coralie did not know what to say.
Attempted r*pe...
It was also unexpected that Howard and herself would turn out like this.
